Regression - RDD-based API
Isotonic regression
Isotonic regression
belongs to the family of regression algorithms. Formally isotonic regression is a problem where
given a finite set of real numbers Y=y1,y2,...,yn
representing observed responses
and X=x1,x2,...,xn
the unknown response values to be fitted
finding a function that minimizes
f(x)=n∑i=1wi(yi−xi)2
with respect to complete order subject to
x1≤x2≤...≤xn
where wi
are positive weights.
The resulting function is called isotonic regression and it is unique.
It can be viewed as least squares problem under order restriction.
Essentially isotonic regression is a
monotonic function
best fitting the original data points.
spark.mllib
supports a
pool adjacent violators algorithm
which uses an approach to
parallelizing isotonic regression.
The training input is an RDD of tuples of three double values that represent
label, feature and weight in this order. Additionally, IsotonicRegression algorithm has one
optional parameter called isotonic defaulting to true.
This argument specifies if the isotonic regression is
isotonic (monotonically increasing) or antitonic (monotonically decreasing).
Training returns an IsotonicRegressionModel that can be used to predict labels for both known and unknown features. The result of isotonic regression is treated as piecewise linear function. The rules for prediction therefore are:
- If the prediction input exactly matches a training feature then associated prediction is returned. In case there are multiple predictions with the same feature then one of them is returned. Which one is undefined (same as java.util.Arrays.binarySearch).
- If the prediction input is lower or higher than all training features then prediction with lowest or highest feature is returned respectively. In case there are multiple predictions with the same feature then the lowest or highest is returned respectively.
- If the prediction input falls between two training features then prediction is treated as piecewise linear function and interpolated value is calculated from the predictions of the two closest features. In case there are multiple values with the same feature then the same rules as in previous point are used.
Examples
Data are read from a file where each line has a format label,feature i.e. 4710.28,500.00. The data are split to training and testing set. Model is created using the training set and a mean squared error is calculated from the predicted labels and real labels in the test set.
